REMEMCHILD recovers children’s experiences and memories during the European war conflicts, especially in WWII and the post-war period. Children were the most vulnerable part of the conflict, especially Jewish and Roma children, victims of the Holocaust, children with disabilities, abused and experimented on, and Resistance collaborators. WWII had other consequences on them as internees, displaced persons, refugees, orphans, etc. – victims, survivors and protagonists, as well as the great forgotten in the memory of the conflict. These figures will be addressed, recovered and vindicated alongside those of women, victims of Nazism, Resistance fighters and combatants, sanitary and medical workers, rear-guard workers, humanitarian aid volunteers, and mothers, protectors and carers of children. Through different impact and dissemination activities carefully designed for different target groups (school children, young people, researchers, humanitarian organisations, memorials, memorial associations, European Remembrance grantees, artists, refugees, among others), the project encourages constant interaction with the results, collective reflection, transnational cooperation and dialogue, and innovation of formats. In doing so, REMEMCHILD aims to: recover, transmit and preserve memories of children and women; combat Holocaust distortion/denial, prevent anti-Semitism, hatred and marginalization; defend and promote core EU values such as solidarity and equality; disseminate the capital of resistant experiences for the construction of democratic civil societies; enhance the socialization of child protection and gender equality policies; and highlight the importance of peace through intergenerational, transnational and memorial dialogue. Children and women continue to be the greatest victims of conflict, evidence that reinforces the need to explore and disseminate their experiences.
